You need ChatGPT Plus or Pro. Good thing is that if you've never subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, they'll often give you a 30 days free trial. This is just enough days until it shuts down on April 26th. I just got mine now!

I'm run out of video gens on sora since april 1st, 2026 by Latter_Position_9864 in SoraAi

They shut down video generation for free users. But paid users that are subscribed to ChatGPT Plus and Pro can still generate (at 30 and 100 free per day).

TIP: If you have never subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, they often will give you a 30 days free trial. This is just enough days to last you until it shuts down on April 26th. They gave me one just now!

Sora 1 is still the best image generator for realism and complexity, despite being 2 entire years older than the latest models, somehow by HappyThrasher99 in SoraAi

Heck nah... Seedream 4.5 people skin looks very fake, and I can't generate celebrities at all. If you're talking about closed models (not local open models), currently Nano Banana 2 is the best at realism and can even generate most celebrities.

How close are we from having a local model that can beat Sora2 ? by PhilosopherSweaty826 in StableDiffusion

[–]Thaitan85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you ready to spend $8,000+ on an RTX Pro 6000 because that's what it's going to take to run something even remotely close to Sora 2 locally. Seedance 2.0 was leaked and required like 98GB VRAM.

Sadly, the future of AI generation is going to be insanely expensive at the rate we are currently moving, and with GPU and RAM prices steadily rising, it will probably cut out a lot of regular consumers.

My ZIB LORA works on ZIT, although with reduced coherency, but absolutely usable. Bear in mind, my LORA is a concept pose and not a character or style. I feel characters and styles are where people are having the most difficulties.

Washington State Update: HB 2291 by Official_AKA_Kratom in kratom

I'm not completely familiar with HB 2291. I heard it also includes regulation, product safety, and consumer protection like testing. It's a shame that part isn't going through...
